This action resulted in the amputation of his left ring finger, left middle finger and one-half of his left index finger. Employee #1 also received minor scratches and marks around the knuckle area on the back of his left hand. The power press involved in the accident was a Minster No. 6, manufactured in 1941 by the Minster Machine Company of Minster, Ohio. The power press was a full revolution/cycle with a tonnage at the bottom of the stroke of 56 tons. The stroke of the ram cycle operates a full cycle with a speed of .5 seconds per cycle.
